NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

The first game of the finals is about to start at the Staples Center.

Century War 23VS24 finally appeared.

The Lakers' starters are still Dellavedova, Kobe, Chen Tian, ​​Tucker and Jokic.

On the Cavaliers side, Irving, Shumpert, James, Love and Thompson.

The O'Neill trio in the commentary booth were also in place soon.

After discussing the matter of Chen Tian.

The trio feel that it is really difficult for the Cavaliers to beat the Lakers.

O'Neill also said at this time.

"Unless LeBron can also play the dominant force in the fourth quarter, otherwise the Cavaliers really need to look at luck if they want to beat the Lakers."

Kenny also continued.

"It depends on the situation. Although Chen Tian's strength is outstanding, if the Cavaliers use the wheel tactics, there is still hope."

Anyway, the game is about to start.

Soon the starters of both teams were on the court.

This time, there were not only Li Xirui and the others in the auditorium.

The old man, Wang Xue and Little Hunter have all arrived.

Everyone was paying attention to Chen Tian's finals.

The old man also kept his promise, his grandson has entered the finals, how could he not come to the scene.

So this time the old man is also going to watch his grandson's game all the way.

On the court, Jokic and Thompson stood in the middle circle.

The game is also about to start.

As the referee threw the ball high, Jokic and Thompson also jumped up quickly.

But Thompson was superior and jumped the ball.

Irving holds the ball and the game officially begins.

Here Irving was not in a hurry to hold the ball, but let Thompson cover him.

Then after throwing off Dellavedova, he came to the free throw line easily, and then scored the ball gracefully.

The ball was played very casually.

But Monty was very dissatisfied.

"Nicholas, what are your hands for?"

Jokic also walked forward with his head down when he heard what the coach said.

Because it was indeed Jokic who did not expect to shoot so quickly.

Irving scored easily, which also started the prelude to this game.

After that, Chen Tian didn't get used to it either.

Ever since he entered the playoffs, Chen Tian's firepower has been turned on.

So Chen Tian didn't say anything about trial casting.

Just grab the ball and go.

So after Chen Tian came over, he didn't shake at all, and just had a physical confrontation with James.

It caught James off guard.

Chen Tian easily leaned back and scored the ball.

James didn't expect Chen Tian to be so fierce as soon as he came up.

But this also aroused James' desire to attack.

Looking back, James was going to pay Chen Tian back.

But when he hit Chen Tian with his back, James suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because when Chen Tian was defending James, he deliberately took a step back.

Seeing this scene, James didn't hesitate, turned over and threw the ball.

But at this time James.

It's not that Chen Tian looked down on him, his shooting ability really wasn't that accurate.

If James really develops his shooting, it will take another season.

Because in the previous life, James only fully developed his shooting package after losing to the Warriors.

So Chen Tian took this step to let James shoot.

Sure enough, James was fooled directly.

James also did not score this goal.

But Thompson at the basket still pressed Jokic to grab the rebound.

But Jokic is also smart, when Thompson fell.

Jokic knocked the ball off Thompson's hand.

The Lakers immediately started to push the fast break.

Seeing Chen Tian's position, Jokic directly passed the ball through the audience and sent it to Chen Tian's hands.

After Chen Tian got the ball, he easily passed Owen and put the ball into the basket.

The Lakers got off to a smooth start.

But then, the game between the two teams completely became a confrontational battle.

Owen's offense here is really very sharp.

Continuous breakthroughs make it difficult for the Lakers' defense to take shape.

And his shooting touch is really good.

In addition, there is also a James and Love who are watching.

So other people on the Lakers side didn't dare to double-team or anything.

This is suffering Dellavedova.

The same is true for the Lakers.

Chen Tian's shaking was so fast that even James couldn't stop it.

In addition, the inside Jokic still has a certain advantage against Thompson.

And Kobe is always catching the ball and throwing cold arrows.

So the Cavaliers' defense is not easy to do.

Soon it was time for a substitution.

Cavaliers head coach David Blatt also replaced Irving and Thompson.

The Lakers were suspended for one game because of JR.

So this game was not able to play.

No way, Monty can only replace Livingston and replace Kobe.

At this time, James and Chen Tian were leading the team alone.

As for Love, he was directly guarded by Tucker.

When it comes to speed, Tucker is faster than him, and when it comes to footwork, Tucker is not far behind.

With a back-up inside, Tucker can even defend Cousins, let alone Love.

Then the two teams had a half quarter, a duel between the strongest forwards.

After covering on James' side, he broke through and dunked with one hand.

Chen Tian immediately gave back a tomahawk.

James faked Chen Tian away and made an easy layup.

Chen Tian also leaned back to directly face the defense and scored the ball.

Shumpert couldn't help shooting, and James made a dunk.

Chen Tian made an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot, but still scored.

The duel between the two was evenly matched.

Since James wanted to understand Chen Tianfang's back-hitting.

James never used back punches against Chen Tian.

But I have to say that James' body is really abnormal.

Chen Tian's close defense still allows James to find opportunities to break through.

The same is true for James in turn.

Chen Tian's defense is also difficult to defend.

After all, Chen Tian has too many offensive methods.

With 27 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Lakers led the Cavaliers by one point 31:30.

After that, James played again.

After switching defenses, he directly used his body to break through and force the ball in.

The score was also overtaken by the Cavaliers.

Here, Chen Tian held the ball and checked that there were still ten seconds left.

Chen Tian was not in a hurry either.

With five seconds left in the time, Chen Tian suddenly started it.

Directly against James to the free throw line.

Then when there are two seconds left in the time.

Chen Tian suddenly jumped up and shot.

The moment the ball flew out, the red light was already on.

The ball rushed to the basket quickly and scored the ball hollowly.

This goal also allowed the Lakers to lead the Cavaliers by one point in the first quarter.

The goal was scored, and the fans in the audience cheered excitedly.
